Thin Graphene Oxide Nanosheets Safe for Human Inhalation in First Controlled Clinical Trial

Long Read

Graphene oxide has generated substantial interest globally with applications in electronics, energy, medicine, and more. However, uncertainties around the human health impacts of manufactured nanomaterials have raised safety concerns over widespread use. Graphene oxide (GO) is a unique two-dimensional nanomaterial derived from graphene, the world's thinnest and strongest...

AI can help spot when correlation does mean causation
